More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving. As Skolnick notes, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the typical American family consisted of a husband, a wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife’s previous marriage, or the husband’s, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses.
Thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with "full-time" children from the present marriage and "part-time" children from former marriages. There are step-fathers, step-mothers, half-brothers, and half-sisters. It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, there remains one constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married. [br] Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today’s American families?
选项
A、There are no nuclear families any more.
B、A family usually consists of a husband, a wife and two or three children.
C、A child usually has four grandparents.
D、Many types of family rearrangements have become socially acceptable.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。本题涉及第2段的理解,该段第1句是一个主语从句,也可视为该段的主题句,点出了本段的主题是nuclear family,该段其他句子描述了什么是nuclear family。本题其实考查哪个选项是对nuclear family的正确描述,明白了第2段的结构后,找出正确答案就不难了。
